<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Marcus,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Big thanks for not making me feel like an
idiot!!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If I just strip-off then, the avi just goes
naked... this does not force a "go back to particle cloud"
appearance.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In fact quite often and even on my closed network,
a sporadic "failure to update appearance" among the avatars results in one or
more of the avis "not" seeing/sharing all of the other avis' skins
data. Thus, some random, spatially distributed group
may be rendered as particle cloud(s) at any time. At other times,
they are just fine and all are visible. At all times though, each avi has
had skin and body feature shaping confirmed as visible at least once.
These issues occur whether the avis are in the same region or in the same
Stand-alone Sim.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have always attributed this to a the OS / SL
Viewer system to not force-feeding data across the network.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sometimes "time" will clear up the issue.
But, sometimes I have to wait for the "offending" avis to
literally bump into each other in order for them to share skin and appearance
data. Other times ... hours to days ... a few avis remain as
particle clouds even though their feet/buttocks leave shadowy
depression moving about on the terrain for all the other avis in the Sim
to sense/see and render.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Oh, yes, I'm the only human in my Sim. So, I
don't offend easily <wink>.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>actually a great idea for the default avatars (diva).</DIV>
<DIV>You need to get rid of the clothes (maybe attachments too), since the
